I just completed a photo book that I am going to give DH for Christmas. I thought it would be fun to start a thread where everyone can share their photo books. I would love to see what everyone else has done.

here is the link, I hope it works.

Daddy and Me Photo Book
 
Very sweet pictures. Enjoy that little one. Thanks for sharing.
 
Great looking family.. He'll be so excited to get that !!

:)Thanks everyone, It's super easy and the perfect gift. I would love to see everyone elses photo books, please share.
 
I wish I could show you the one I did for that Snapfish offer last week, but for some reason the only way you can share those is through email, not posting a link. :( PM me your email address if you want me to email it to you...it's basically some of the photos of me, my DH and our kids at Disney.
PS - Yet another reason to like Shutterfly more...so much easier to "share" stuff!

Id love to see it, my email is [email protected]. I have used both Snapfish and Shutterfly, and Shutterfly wins hands down. So much easier, and so many more options.
 
Just emailed you the link...and while I was at it, noticed a boo-boo I made on the FIRST page...go figure. I meant to type 2008 and typed 3008 instead. Guess that will make me learn to pay more attention, right? At least it was free...

lol, Im afraid to look at my snapfish one. I did it really quick due to the deadline.
 
Me, too. And that's pretty sad, since they had extended the deadline by a WEEK! I didn't even upload photos to work with until the day it was due. I'm a procrastinator extraordinaire when it comes to certain things.

We live less than two hours from Orlando, so getting the four-day pass was a must for DH and I this year. The kids turn three in December, and we still have to use the fourth day before that happens (since they get in free while they're still two!). If they weren't so tall, we could delay that a little while, but they're very tall kids. :) The trips (both of them, July and October) were great. I'm learning quickly what to pack and what to NOT bother packing, so that makes it even easier to enjoy ourselves. Budget is crucial when you plan a trip to Orlando, and so far we've done well staying under budget. And while our friends think we're nuts to take kids to the parks when they're still so young, we have a blast...the parks have been so much more fun when we see them through the kids' eyes. I still remember my parents taking me and my brother on the Dumbo ride when I was about three, and it was so great to take my kids on the same ride. I'm a scrap-a-holic, so I take a million pictures wherever we go...I can't find time to scrapbook them all, so doing picture books like these make it so much easier.

I WISH I lived so close! I live about as far away from Disney World as I can get. We went in May 2006 and in April 2007. Our last trip I was 8 months Pregnant with our DD and it was spring break:eek:, not as much fun as the first trip. I can't wait to take my Daughter. I am a huge scraper too, so I also take millions of pics. I drive my family crazy, I can't go anywhere without my camera. I don't have anytime for scrapbooking now so photo books are my new thing. Soooo easy. Can't wait to make one for a Disney Trip! :D

What are some tips for organizing my Disney trip photos before creating a photo book?

Before creating your photo book, organize your Disney trip photos by creating folders for each day or event.
